I have to go with one of the Bourne movies, probably the first one.

As tempting as it is to go for a 'car' movie, or even a movie about racing, I love the driving done for the Bourne movies - so I'll go with the first of them. All the driving was done by a real driver, without the aid of CGI. The kind of precision driving that requires, along with the inability to damage too many vehicles beforehand, means the skills of the stunt drivers were exceptional.

Yeah, I gotta go with The Bourne Identity. It's truly exceptional driving.

If it had been plural, I'd have said the whole damned series - but the series with that bald-headed action star (Fast and Furious, I think?) has some pretty sweet driving in it, as well.

(Pardon me, if I'm not here long. I may fall asleep.)

That whole series has some pretty good driving in it and drifting takes some skill to do well. Have you watched any of the drifting competitions?

I've seen a few drift competitions in my day on youtube. Tandem drifting looks fun as hell but I'm positive everyone who learns to do it wrecks at least once.

I've watched a few different competitions and I can't actually quite figure out how they're scoring them.

We do some drifting (and some things that look like drifting) in rally, but it's generally avoided on a track unless you're showing off and not trying for a good lap time. It does look good and it does require some skill, especially with throttle modulation. It also requires some understanding of the car's balance, which is a good step.

In January, we're going to try to get a full week in over at the rally school. It should be good entertainment and educational.

Well have fun, who knows if things go my way I might actually be able to purchase a toy this year. I'd really like a 1991 240sx with some kind of motor swap. Good balance on those cars, I've owned 2. Probably have to go south or out west to even find one these days.

Rally school would be a hell of a good time. Might have to check it out someday.
